Really interested to see how this team responds. Huge test before the trade deadline
The Lakers sit atop the Western Conference standings over the Denver Nuggets by four games with a 33-8 record. Obviously the front runners to win the west, with pieces like LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Kyle Kuzma, it still won't be easy to go into Toyota Center and pull off an easy victory over a Rockets team that's been wildly swinging all year long.
Best home records in the NBA
— NBA Central (@TheNBACentral) January 15, 2020
Miami Heat: 17-1
Milwaukee Bucks: 19-2
Philadelphia 76ers: 18-2
Boston Celtics: 16-3
Utah Jazz: 15-3
LA Clippers: 18-4
LA Lakers: 16-4
Houston Rockets: 14-4
Denver Nuggets: 16-5
Indiana Pacers: 16-5
Despite being in sixth in the Western Conference and 6.5 games back of the Lakers, the Rockets are right behind the Lakers in terms of best home records in the NBA. When you have electric players like Harden and Russell Westbrook as a one-two punch, you're bound to bring in fans by the thousands and give off a tough environment to play in for opposing teams.
#Lakers' Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo are both considered QUESTIONABLE for tomorrow's game against the #Rockets.

Even after losing Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo to injury, LeBron has led the Lakers to wins in nine of their last 10 games, while the Rockets have lost three of their last four. This game is basically just a question of who has the hotter offense, and with the Lakers averaging 114 points per game and the Rockets averaging 118.7, the game will be a fun one to watch.
